Thread: Road conditions in Georgia and or Alabama

I know this is a little off topic but just bear with me and I'll explain.

On Sunday I'm heading down to Florida for a with some members of our campus (Western Kentucky University) chapter of Habitat for Humanity for our annual winter break trip, a week long build build trip where we go and work on a house for a week in another part of the country. I'm the student leader on this trip and am trying to get the last minute details ironed out before we leave and have gotten contradicting information regarding the road conditions around Atlanta and Mobile. Everything from clear and good to go to all frozen up and that trucks are stuck there until the conditions improve.

If anyone from the Atlanta or Mobile areas (heck anyone along I-65 or highway 31 south) could chime in and give me some insight on conditions I'd really appreciate it. Alabama guys this includes you, I know down your way you guys got dumped on the other day.

Thanks again

According to the weather reports everything should be good by Sunday. The roads have gotten considerably clearer (except for the ice from the re-freezing last night). I actually drove all the way home from work today without having to use 4wd.

We are suppose to get above freezing friday, saturday, and sunday so it should be pretty much melted by then.

Rain man: This is my second year as a part of this organization and my second trip and I love it. Last year we did a build in Mississippi and I cant begin to tell you the look on the new home owners faces when they saw the progress we had made (all the interior insulation, 95% of the ceiling sheet rock was hung, and most of the siding was done. For six college students with limited construction experience, not too bad) it's a life changing experience and if you ever get the opportunity to participate in a Habitat event do not hesitate. Even if you have no experience, they will work with you on site and get you set up right.

By the weekend it will be back to normal, I drove through AL and had no problems yesterday. It was rough north of Birmingham on I-59 but for the most part I held 70mph except when the locals were holding up progress. All my driving was on I-59 from MS to TN. I-65 south of Birmingham should be clean now.
